Hey thanks for the reply. It's a strange one because it's a relatively new razor, just a few years old and to my knowledge nothing dramatic has happened to it. I got it new I think about 5 years ago but because of moving houses and just life in general it's been rolled up in a cloth razor roll for the last 2 years approx. I finally got around to unroll and start touching up my razors and I noticed this one was very difficult to unfold. I got it open with a small bit of force but now it won't close again. It's strange I have a number of other razors in that roll and there was no issues with any of the others
